General Tools Pro Carving Tool Set (5-Piece)

The gouges were quite sharp out of the box. Spent a few moments honing them and they cut through my basswood like butter. These are for small scale carving projects and are ideal for my caricature carving!

The product was shipped to my local store in a timely fashion. I put the carving set to use immediately. It works very well. The varied shaped tools are useful for many type of small projects. My beginning project is a ball in a box with a chain. I am also working on a chain.

It’s a very nice looking set. The tools are comfortable to work with and they’re sharp right out of the bag. My only complaint is that the flat edge knife chipped after a few uses. I was using it to carve letters into a pine board so it really shouldn’t have failed like that but I can clean it up with a sharpening stone pretty easily. Other than that, hand forged and made in the USA. Great set for a hobbyist but obviously if you want professional grade you’re going to have to pay more.

I bought these for my 11 year old nephew who wants to get into woodworking, but didn’t want to spend a fortune on something in case he changed his mind or let him loose on my grandfather’s and father’s (now my) tools just yet. They’re a nice addition to any set and a nice little starter set.

This set gives a good start for your first set of gouges. Typicaly these tools will be used on projects under 18 inches. They will detail a project of any size. I have owened this set for 15 years and they perform great. Good buy.

Nice tools, vey sharp, use gloves. we will see how long they stay sharp.

Haven’t used extensively yet, but the brief use on a few projects indicate that they are beginning grade carving tools. Handles are comfortable and so far the blades are maintaining sharpness. Quality of the steel will show in time.

Great set! Would put up against sets costing twice as much.

Great set.Very sharp right out of the box. Easy to use.
